The last days wrap up one hour earlier at 17:00 pm.
Drupa has always served as a major procurement platform, and it’s proven that half of the buyers that attend do so with the intention to make long-term investments. Exhibitors are also capable of diversifying their revenue streams as visitors represent a variety of industries – consumer and luxury goods, cosmetics, banking, and security technology. Innovation is the second component that has contributed to the event’s success. DRUPA Hot Spots and dna - drupa next age are two of the special shows that reveal the next generation of technology.
